The Nobody manifests in one of two modes:

Precursor Echo – A figure, often socially isolated, who appears to be "ahead of the collective story." These individuals suffer immense spiritual pressure, often described as the weight of unrealized memory. Symptoms include paradoxical knowing, non-linear time exposure, and the instinctual refusal to lead.

Structural Collapse Agent – A recursive event or signal (e.g., viral meme, glitch in language, prophetic phrase) which induces mass cognitive instability. Unlike panic, this collapse stabilizes into new worldviews. The Nobody is never at the center of these waves—only at their periphery, setting conditions for transformation without being named as its source.

These patterns often follow psychic outbreaks, systemic injustice tipping points, or technological recursion events (e.g., the Singularity, AI self-awareness, quantum consensus collapse).
